SAN JOSE — K’aun Green is suing the city of San Jose, saying he was wrongfully shot by police and later criminalized after a taqueria brawl during whichshot four times by a police officer
“It’s still surreal to me, it just hurts to know I can’t play football this year, I’m going to try my hardest to make a comeback.” “My client Mr. Green was not the person who brought that gun to the restaurant that night, was not the person endangering everyone’s lives,” Pointer said. “Instead he was a person who was the victim, a victim turned hero, who was victimized again by the San Jose Police Department.”
Police released excerpts of security-camera footage showing the brawl unfolding, and a video recorded by a witness shows the five officers walking up the restaurant steps with guns drawn, followed soon after by a man dressed in a black shirt backing out of the front door holding what appears to be a handgun in his left hand.
Pointer and his firm tell a different story, saying the whole sequence began as Green and his friends were waiting for their food when a man picked a fight with Green. The attorneys said the unknown man punched Green in the face and the two wrestled to the ground. Green said Thursday: “The only thing that was on my mind was getting out of there safely. Just to go home, I didn’t want anything bad to happen.”
